METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GIFTING OVER A DATA NETWORK

摘要

A method is provided for operating a server to allow a first terminal to provide a content gift to a second terminal, where the first and second terminals selectively communicate with the server. The method includes receiving a catalog request from the first terminal for a catalog that identifies content compatible with the second terminal. The method also includes generating the catalog and transmitting the catalog to the first terminal. The method also includes receiving a gift request from the first terminal requesting that a content gift selected from the identified content in the catalog be provided to the second terminal, and providing the content gift to the second terminal. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
